Dave Holland Quintet - Vortex
NEA Jazz Masters
•
58m
This concert gem features the Dave Holland Quintet at the height of their musical maturity, seamlessly blending passion and logic, spontaneity and group interplay with sparkling clarity. Each musician operates like a cog in the delightful engine of swing, syncing perfectly with the supple beats laid down by Holland and Smith.
With no piano, no reliance on a "standards" repertoire, and an air of effortless concentration, the Quintet crafts palpable musical shapes through innovative themes and variations. Despite their unique inventiveness, they exude a melodic mellowness throughout their tunes: Vortex, Homecoming, and Wiguts Waits for Weights.
Arkadia Concerts is proud to present the Dave Holland Quintet in a music lover's ultimate reward: a full-length concert that will captivate your attention at every moment and transport you to a higher musical realm.
